INDIAN STYLE MASALA PASTA RECIPE (VEGETARIAN)- EASY PASTA RECIPES

This is my first post on pasta recipes.I really wonder why i din’t try a pasta recipe so far .Actually i wanted to start with pasta with white sauce or red sauce but my friend Shalini suggested me to try our Indian style,easy pasta recipe with full of masala flavours.This recipe is very similar to Penne Arrabiata .As kids love pasta very much,I tried this recipe for Raksha’s breakfast.We too tasted some.It was very nice,flavourful and tasty.So,my first attempt in making a pasta recipe was a great success.I felt very happy and i wanted to share this recipe with u all.U can make many variations in this recipe and prepare it more healthy & colorful by adding vegetables.Friends,if u are bored of making cheesy pasta recipes,try this low calorie,easy peasy pasta recipe with Indian masala.U will love it.

How to cook pasta : Take 5 cups of water in a bowl.Add some salt and few drops of cooking oil.When the water comes to boil,add 1 cup of pasta.Mix well using a ladle to avoid pasta sticking to the bottom and cook for 10-12 minutes in medium flame.It should be soft but firm without losing its shape.Switch off the flame and transfer the pasta to a colander.Discard the excess water.Show the pasta under running water to make it firm.Set aside.
